There's no reason for me to make a separate thread about it. I'm not trying to usurp his turn - this is an extra challenge, additive, not assumptive

No, the rules in this thread are pretty well defined. Create a new thread if you want us to guess that (I have no idea yet by the way)

Wari'?

I don't think that's wari' to be honest

A chibchan language such as Ika?

Spoken in South America?

It's spoken in South America, but it's neither Wari' nor Chibchan.

It is probably not a Tupian language.

I will make a guess: Mapudungun (a.k.a. mapuche or araucanian)

It's the one used in the book I took the sample from. I don't think there is a true native orthography for it.

I would have to guess jivaro, on account of the vowels

It could be a Jivaroan language, yes. Achuar?

Aguaruna?

It's Shuar/Jivaro. R.Rusanov's turn.

The fact it said "shuar" in your sample kinda gave it away. I'll go with this:
